lore drop! diluc always wears a translucent veil to cover their face, and bc of magic, it can't be blown upwards by the wind to reveal how they look. it can, however, be blown against them so ajax can see the contours of their features. all this does is make him more curious though.

[Image description: A three page traditional comic of a scene from my Chiluc Angel AU.
On the first page, Ajax washes dishes at the kitchen sink while Diluc sits on the couch behind him, reading a book. "You're always wearing your veil, even at home," says Ajax. "Why won't you show me your face, Master Angel?"
"Mortals cannot comprehend my appearance," replies Diluc.
A tiny Ajax face at the bottom of the page laughs a "haha" with furrowed brows.
On the second page, Ajax says, "Okay, so you're self-confident. But still, not even a little peek?"
"No, what I meant was-" Diluc starts.
On the third page, Diluc finishes his sentence with, "you would literally be blinded."
A serious air and gloom hang over the scene.
Ajax is silent for a moment, and then responds, "You know what? Nevermind then."
really the problem is that sometimes I am just entirely tripping over myself with how much I desire to illustrate something, but I know both that there is little to no chance of doing this the way I want to do it as something Proper-Professional and that I will get bored and tired of it the very second that it becomes something I Have to do
